A College Reunion

by Gyasi Burks-Abbott

  Faces emerge from the past
asking questions about the present.
Together
we reflect the future
in the wake of 9/11
in the slumber of economic recession.
What do we do now?
What we learned to do back then.
Critically Think.
 

 

Time Warp

by Gyasi Burks-Abbott

  

When the timeline sags,
my past is always present and,
my present will not pass.
I am buried deep in a temporal hole,
and I can not see the future that awaits me
above ground.
Like a traffic jam at the intersection of space and time,
I am grid locked, bushwhacked?
Waiting for lights to change.
Waiting for cars to move.
Waiting for pedestrians to cross.
Waiting for something
anything
to happen.
